Mississippi residents sue xAI and SpaceX over Southaven turbine noise
More than 10,000 people living near a Southaven, Mississippi facility that powers xAI’s data center operations are suing xAI and SpaceX, alleging that gas-fired turbines produce round-the-clock noise that has damaged their health and property values. The federal lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Oxford, Mississippi, names xAI, its subsidiary MZX Tech, and SpaceX as defendants. Elon Musk is not named in the case. Three residents brought the complaint on behalf of a proposed class they estimate exceeds 10,000 members.
